That Serrated Metal Edge On Boxes Of Alumimum Foil?

Don’t mean a God-Damn thing if y’all don’t provide enough frickin’ glue to support the sides of the frickin’

BOX!

10/10. Short, sweet. Perfect.

Got Duct tape?

what?

wait, I get it. I think I would’ve understood it sooner if i didn’t speak German :stuck_out_tongue:

When I was about 6 or 7 I pissed my brother off and he took a swing at me with a box of Saran Wrap. Well, at that point in my life I had never seen that much blood and I freaked. Today, 30 or so years later, I still have a doozy of a scar on my right hand from where the jagged metal bastards cut into me.

It’s true…double so for Saran Wrap which is impossible to cut to begin with. I’ve never thrown away an empty wrap box that wasn’t completely flat and structureless.

We can put a Rover on Mars and can’t keep a wrap box together?!?! For shame!

I guess you have to get one of those horrible wrap dispensers like you see in 1950’s houses that mount to the wall. Blech.

Only thing I’ve been able to cut with those boxes is my damned knuckles… :frowning:

handy?

Quasi, it’s high time you found yourself a wife.

Damn, you just leverage the box (not squashing it) - and carefully pull the foil out, being careful not to slice off your fingers in the process. How hard is that?
Disclaimer: actual loss of fingers occurs 80% of the time, according to recent studies.

Quasi mate I love you - first laugh I’ve had all day. Thank-you.

We got a box of cling wrap - catering size, 600m of the damn stuff - and the frickin box started falling apart in the first month. I used packing tape on it and it is still going strong a year later.

When I first came to Australia, I saw that the foil and plastic wrap boxes don’t have the metal serrated edge that I was used to - it’s just ripple edged cardboard. I couldn’t see how you were supposed to tear anything on something that looked so ineffectual, so just stared dumbly at it for a while until someone demonstrated it for me.

It made me look like a complete doofus, which I have never personally lived down.

Ah, so the secret to those Aussie boxes is to double-post-wrap them! Got it!

Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Multiple postings can do that, as well.

That was a board glitch. I clicked the button once, doggone stupid hamsters.

I once stood before the lunar capsule that went to the moon. It is on display at the Smithsonian Space Musuem. Every guy is staring at this piece of history in utter awe.

Meanwhile, I am looking at it slightly mystified that something that looks like the Sophomore Parade Float, only with two combined themes (tin foil and duct tape) going at the same time actually made a trip into outerspace, let alone out of the garage where it was slapped together in a last minute rush. The fact that a man sat inside of this expecting to come back to earth alive is even more comical, to me.

Another woman and myself started commiserating on this very subject:

“That made it to the moon and back?”

Me, " Yeah, but those engineers still can’t put the toilet paper on the roll or flush the toilet after use."
